Delusions are false beliefs that a person holds on to despite evidence that they may be wrong
Delusions are generally based on real experiences that are interpreted incorrectly
Leap from one idea to another even if they aren’t connected in any way
Negative symptoms include blunted affect…trouble showing emotions
Poverty of speech… think and saying very little
Avolition… leads people to lose motivation
Not split personality or street drug psychosis
